Lord, Make Me An Instrument of Your Peace: Using St. Francis’ Prayer as a Spiritual Practice

Fr. Tom Ryan, CSP

Many of us are familiar with the famous prayer of St. Francis: “Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love…Where there is darkness, light…” This evening with Father Thomas Ryan, author of Prayer of Heart and Body, we will learn how we can draw from this prayer to radically heighten our awareness and transform our lives and relationships. We will discover meditations, probing questions, reflections, inner dialogue and journaling techniques associated with each verse that will transform these beautiful words into a powerful, living spiritual practice.
